Resumen
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the role of Charles Dickens as an urban novelist and as a social commentator of the society in which he lived. Through many of his novels, he voiced social matters of his time, among others, health conditions, administrative incompetence, and the Poor Laws. Three of his major novels have been considered and put in context. The influence of his work showed the strong political and ethical potential that literature may have to spark debates about social and moral reform. Therefore, the specific goal is to identify Dickens’s descriptions of characters, situations, settings, and social matters which denounced the situation in England during the Victorian period as well as explore to which extent these descriptions matched with reality.
